I predict that "Melania -- The Movie" will be very unpopular with audiences, that the critics will pan it, and that someday, maybe 30 years from now, it will be cult -- like Rocky Horror Picture Show, where people come in costumes and sing along in cinemas, stoned out of their minds and in party mood.

That old asymptotic curve from the 1970s is really starting to kick in, isn't it?

In the spring of 2026, Elon Musk will somehow taint the legacies of Gernsback's "Amazing Stories" and Doc Smith's Skylark series in the most cluelessly disagreeable way possible.

In the summer of 2026, aside from the one by Story Mountain, the only other blockbuster that gets people out to whatever movie theaters still remain will be the one where the various progeny of a self-important tech lord come home to roost and show him what's what.

In October of 2026, Ray Bradbury will rise from the dead just to say, "Told you so."

In November of 2026, Panam will come back in style.

In 2026 a Pope will preach peace and conviviality (as they always do) to perhaps little effect.

In 2026 there might be positive things going on elsewhere, even if we don't know about them, which might be holding our human world together.

And why would we do that? What is there to gain?
The satisfaction and perversely gleeful mirth of enjoying some stranger's imagined turmoil and fear?

To be fair, "Paul Martin" did also publicly say that he was on heavy pain killers, so maybe he just navigated that badly?

I predict that Trump will not serve out his second term. He will be removed from office by legal means, or die in office.

He may never be convicted of raping underage girls, but he may well be impeached for covering other pedos, for releasing only redacted files, which he must know contain enough evidence to convict several pedos.

Resign, he will not--he hasn't the balls to do what Nixon did, which was to own it.
Maybe Stephen Miller will have Trump bumped off, and JD Vance will go along with that as the less random front-man.

I think that would have to happen pretty soon, because of the mid-term elections coming up in November.

Poor Trump. Such an unfortunate event for someone with such good intentions. Who could ever have seen that coming?

Well, already Mike Johnson (Speaker of the House in the US) has tried to correct the Pope's (and Magisterium's) biblical interpretations, which I'm sure has sent shockwaves (of giggles at least) throughout the Vatican.
